XInput support | |
---|---|
Key points
- Connects via micro USB cable or wireless pairing dongle (included with the controller).
- Analog dual-stage triggers (similar to the Nintendo GameCube controller's triggers).
- Adds full controller support to virtually any game because of Big Picture integration with high customization and being able to use XInput, keyboard and mouse inputs.
- Can sync configurations across computers by Steam account.
- Does not function as a controller when used without Steam running (shows up as an HID device).[1] Linux users can resolve this by using the Standalone Steam Controller Driver.
General information
- Official site
- Steam Community Discussions
- See Steam Client changelog and Steam Client Beta changelog for controller and controllers firmware updates.
- Steam Controller Database for controller configurations outside of Big Picture mode's community configs.
Availability
- Steam
- Amazon.com
- Incorrect store name. See here for available options.
Use with PC platforms
Windows
- Install/open the Steam client, go into Big Picture mode, then press the Steam button on the controller to turn it on and begin setup.
OS X
- Install/open the Steam client, go into Big Picture mode, then press the Steam button on the controller to turn it on and begin setup.
- Wasn't supported originally at launch; nowadays it's supported but is prone to more issues than Windows and Linux.
Linux
- Install/open the Steam client, go into Big Picture mode, then press the Steam button on the controller to turn it on and begin setup.
- Can work standalone without Steam by using custom drivers here.
Configuration
- Has to be configured individually for each game in Big Picture mode.
Style of Input Options
- Mouse - Operates as a mouse. Will control any mouse-based interface such as a cursor or in-game camera.
- Mouse Region - Use mouse input on a certain area on the screen; for example, moving around the minimap in a strategy game.
- Touch Menu - Can make a menu that appears to use certain inputs; for example, making a weapon select for a game like Doom.
- Scroll Wheel - Will operate as a scroll wheel.
- Directional Pad - Operates as a D-Pad. Any input can be assigned. Allows Diagonal pressing compared to Button Pad, but is missing Turbo options.
- Button Pad - Operates as a button pad. Any input can be assigned. Doesn't allow Diagonal pressing but allows Turbo buttons (repeat inputs very quickly).
- Joystick Move - Simulates a joystick. Intended for traditional joystick applications, like a twin-stick shooter.
- Joystick Camera - Intended to control a camera. Can simulate the left and right joysticks, and also a mouse.
- Mouse Joystick - Simulates a mouse but with joystick input. Intended for games that don't allow simultaneous mouse and controller input, like Fallout 4.
Support in games
- Even though controller should be compatible with almost every single game, games can add native support for the controller, which can include native button prompts, haptic feedback and official configurations with aliased text for games features.
